Dash BrysOn-NOIrtIer.

Below we give an account of the con.
test between Dash Bryson, an eastern
dog' and .Noirtier, a Bozeman dog, owned
by Jno. W. Besserer, taken from the
American Field. Although Noirtier did
not win the prize, there is satisfaction in
knowing that he did his work so well
that the judges were almost undecided
as TO which dog should he declared the
winner:
At 1928, A. M Young's black and white
dog, Dash Bryson, by Dave Bryson-
1acksohs Rose, handled by John Carl
ton, and John W. Besserer's black white
and tan dog Noirtler, by Paul Gladstone

were cast off in an open weed and corn

opened work by pointing a beyy, then
abandoned his point for a moment bnt
pointed again. Noirtier in the mean.
time came up in the woods some Yards
away and pointed the bevy. Dash tn
order, drew to the birds. Carlton flushed
and killed and Dash broke shot and re.
trieved indifierently well, as he pincbed
his bird. The scattered birds were fol-
lowed. After searching for the scattered
birds without success, the dogs were or.
dered out of the woods. While COMING
in to order, Noirtier pointed nicely in a
wet place in the woods, and Davidson

THE LIVINGSTON POST OFFICE.

reason that her husband would run the
office, and inasmuch as he did all in his
power to defeat Toole, Savage and other
good men on the Democratic ticket last
fall. Mr.. Berg not only worked hard
against these men, who should, and un-
doubtedly will have something to say
regarding this appointment; but his
strident voice shaped many word that
cannot be forgotten nor overlooked. The
incumbent, Mr.. Wright, is Republican,
and is soon to take county position in
the new county of Park, hence the office
will soon be vacant, as Mr.. Wright, al
though possibly he may wish to do so,
cannot bold one office under the govern

same time. Joseph Mcbride, a Demo-
cratic citizen of Livingston since it has

ton under the Northern Pacific railroad,

work could not count, as Dash B was out
OF that particular piece Of woods, in
compliance with the orders of the judge,
and therefore there could be no compe
tition in that place under the circum-
stances. After moving on few wards,
both dogs began to make game; they

CITY HALL.

In this issue will he found an orlin-
ance which authorizes the loan of $40,
600, providing two-thirds of the tax. pay
ing real-estate owners of Bozeman shall
vote in favor of the proposition. Ree
CHRONICLE need not reiterate the fact
that it is in favor of more public i'm
provements for Bozcman, this i,as been
the burden of its song since the first
. day it was issued. $4,000 will not build
verv large or very elaborate city hall,
such as we would like to see, yet, if the
site is donated, rs it ought to be, and we
believe will be, this amount will build a
plain, large brick building, with base.
ment, without useless and unsightly
curolas and projections, ample for our
present needs, and so arranged that
additions may be placed thereto, which
will add 10 the beauty and capacity of
the building. Our plan is two.story
'brick building with basement under
meath, for marshal's Office and Jail,
rooms in front extending nearly half
way of the building for city offices, en-
gine room and executive apartments for
the council; the remainder of the build
ing to be occupied by hall, fashioned
similar to theater, with a sloping floor,
large stage and one gallery. This
building would then save the city con-
siderable amount for rents and be IL con-
slant source of revenue, for theatrical
performances lectures, concerts and all
other respectable entertainments, which,
by small additional outlay for
portable floor, could also be used for
dancing, whiqh in itself, would bring in
no smalFrexshue .duping one winter. AT
present there are small number of tax
payers who are opposed to the PROPOSE
tom solely on the ground of the addi-
tonal taxation. They do not stop to
consider the very small amount Shich
they will be called upon to pay, and the
great benefits to be derived and the in
creased valuation that will he added to
their property.

1t is beginning to be very generally
conceded that the congressional session
ending at noon on the fourth of March,
is all to short for the interests of the
country. 1t might have done for 1877,
when the entire country had popula-
tion inferior to to that of the state of
New York, and not one tithe of its
wealth. But we have grown apace in
the last hundred years-grown in almost
everything but the industry of congress-
men. They still retain their stage coach
habits and traditions. Something must
be done to get out of this. The prolong-
alton of the session will be only partial
remedy; and since a dav cannot be
stretched over twenty-four hours, and
since congressional daily session is
only about five hours per day, inter
rupted by frequent adjournment, endless
roll-calls, fillibustering, and long, drawl-
ing speeches, it can be seen how all too
little time is left for deliberate, intelli.
gent action on national questions.

We are in receipt of newspaper pub
lished in San Benito county, California,
in which we find an article, ably written,
accusing G. W. Carlton, postmaster, late
ly appointed, of being the murderer Of
s. H. Brummett, an editor a few years
since in California. Carlton, the paper
says, was tried for manslaughter, and
convicted, but finally released. If Carl

to be, the good people of Deer Lodge do
not, nor the Democracy of Montana can
not afford to give him so important a
